    Swinging On A Star
    ((French Version: À Toi De Choisir (by Richard Anthony)) - 1964))
    Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Jimmy Van Heusen
    First release by: Bing Crosby & Williams Brothers - 1944
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Would you like to swing on a star
    Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    And be better off than you are
    Or would you rather be a mule?

    A mule is an animal with long funny ears
    Kicks up at anything he hears
    His back is brawny but his brain is weak
    He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
    And by the way, if you hate to go to school
    You may grow up to be a mule

    Or would you like to swing on a star
    Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    And be better off than you are
    Or would you rather be a pig?

    A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
    His shoes are a terrible disgrace
    He has no manners when he eats his food
    He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
    But if you don't care a feather or a fig
    You may grow up to be a pig

    Or would you like to swing on a star
    Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    And be better off than you are
    Or would you rather be a fish?

    A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
    He can't write his name or read a book
    To fool the people is his only thought
    And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
    But then if that sort of life is what you wish
    You may grow up to be a fish
    A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish

    And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
    Every day you meet quite a few
    So you see it's all up to you
    You can be better than you are
    You could be swingin' on a star

    Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore
    Composer(s): John Prine
    Performer(s): John Prine



    While digesting Reader's Digest
    In the back of a dirty book store
    A plastic flag, with gum on the back
    Fell out on the floor
    Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
    Slapped on my window shield
    And if I could see old Betsy Ross
    I tell her how good I feel

    Chorus:
    But your flag decal won't get you
    Into Heaven any more
    They're already overcrowded
    From your dirty little war
    Now Jesus don't like killin'
    No matter what the reason's for
    And your flag decal won't get you
    Into Heaven any more

    Well, I went to the bank this morning
    And the cashier he said to me
    "If you join the Christmas club
    We'll give you ten of them flags for free"
    Well, I didn't mess around a bit
    I took her up on what he said
    And I stuck them stickers all over my car
    And one on my wife's forehead

    Repeat Chorus:

    Well, I got my window shield so filled
    With flags I couldn't see
    So, I ran the car upside a curb
    And right into a tree
    By the time they got a doctor down
    I was already dead
    And I'll never understand why the man
    Standing in the Pearly Gates said...

    But your flag decal won't get you
    Into Heaven any more
    We're already overcrowded
    From your dirty little war
    Now Jesus don't like killin'
    No matter what the reason's for
    And your flag decal won't get you
    Into Heaven any more

    À Toi De Choisir
    ((Adapted from: Swinging On A star (by Bing Crosby) - 1944)
    Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Jimmy Van Heusen - Jacques Plante
    Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1964



    Ma petite sœur bien aimée - oh oh oh
    Viens un peu ici m'écouter - oh oh oh
    Je t'aime bien mais tu me désoles - oh oh oh
    Car tu ne fais rien à l'école !

    À toi de choisir ce que tu veux devenir - ah oui alors
    Quelqu'un dont on parle et qu'on admire - tout à fait d'accord
    Ou simplement un petit animal qui ne sait rien et qui se tient très mal
    Mais si tu prends la première solution - oui bien sûr
    Tu dois apprendre tes leçons - je ne veux pas apprendre les leçons

    Ma petite sœur bien aimée - oui oui
    Prends conseil de ton frère aîné - je veux bien je veux bien
    Pour trouver plus tard un mari - oh j'ai le temps
    Faut savoir la géométrie - menteur

    À toi de choisir ce que tu veux devenir
    Mais il faut bûcher pour réussir - à qui le dis-tu
    Savoir les chefs lieux des départements - tu le sais toi
    Et conjuguer un verbe à tout les temps
    Si l'on voyait que tu comptes sur tes doigts - comme toi
    Tous tes copains riraient de toi - tu parles ils font tous comme moi
    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh

    Mais si tu fais bien tes devoirs
    Tu n'as pas de crainte à avoir
    Le succès te tendra les bras
    Et moi je serai fier de toi - oh oh oh
    Et moi je serai fier de toi - oh oh oh
    Et moi je serai fier de toi - oh oh oh

    Your Feet's Too Big
    Composer(s): Ada Benson; Fred Fisher
    Performer(s): Fats Waller;
    and various other artists



    Spoken:
    Who's that walkin' 'round here?
    Mercy!
    Sounds like baby patter
    Baby elephant patter, that's what I calls it

    Say, up in Harlem, at a table for two
    There were four of us, me, your big feet and you
    From your ankles up, I say you sure are sweet
    From there down, there's just too much feet!

    Yes, your feet's too big!
    Don't want ya 'cause your feet's too big!
    Can't use ya 'cause your feet's too big!
    I really hate ya 'cause your feet's too big!
    Yeah!

    Lah-dee-doo-dah
    Nah-dah-nah-dah
    Where d'ya get 'em?
    Nah-dee-ah-dah

    Your girl, she likes ya, she thinks you're nice
    Got what it takes to be in paradise
    She said she likes your face, she likes your rig
    But, man, oh, man, them things are too big

    Oh, your feet's too big
    Don't want ya 'cause your feet's too big!
    Mad at ya 'cause your feet's too big
    I hate ya 'cause your feet's too big

    Spoken:
    My goodness, gun the gunboats!
    Shift! Shift! Shift!

    Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal
    To me you look just like a fossil
    You got me walkin', talkin' and squawkin'
    'Cause your feet's too big, yeah

    Spoken:
    Come on and walk that thing
    Oh, I never heard o' such walkin', Mercy!
    You know your pedal extremities really are obnoxious
    One never knows, do one?

    Swinging On A Gate
    Composer(s): Harry Hemsley
    Performer(s): Harry Hemsley



    I wish I was a little boy
    But then you see I'm not
    I'm very fond of little boys
    I know an awful lot
    I like the sort of games they play
    I think they're really great
    But the game that I like playing best
    Is swinging on a gate

    Swinging on a gate
    With a lot of boys
    Swinging on the gate
    Don't we make a noise
    Nurse is very cross
    'Cause I come home late
    Says I is a naughty girl ("Winnie! Winnie")
    For swinging on a gate

    Children's Voices:
    ("Hello - here's a gate")
    ("Ooh it's a bit like...........isn't it")
    ("I'm on first")
    ("No, no, I'm on first")
    ("Don't push")
    ("I'm not pushing")
    ("Now we're off!")

    Man's Voice:
    ("Oi! Get off that gate, do you hear me?")

    I don't care much for little girls
    They never make a noise
    I like to shout and holler out
    That's why I'm with the boys
    I hold right on climbing trees
    And bird-nesting I hate
    The game that I like playing best
    Is swinging on a gate

    Swinging on a gate
    With a lot of boys
    Swinging on the gate
    Don't we make a noise
    Nurse is very cross
    'Cause I come home late
    Says I is a naughty girl ("Winnie! Winnie")
    For swinging on a gate

    Swinging on a gate
    With a lot of boys
    Swinging on the gate
    Don't we make a noise
    Nurse is very cross
    'Cause I come home late
    Says I is a naughty girl ("Winnie! Winnie")
    For swinging on a gate

    I saw your eyes, your wonderful eyes
    With love light and tenderness feeling
    They thrilled me through, they filled me too
    With wonderful dreams I am dreaming
    No need to speak, no more shall I seek
    For my heart has taught me their meaning
    And love has come, at last I know
    Your eyes have told me so

    No need to speak, no more shall I seek
    For my heart has taught me their meaning
    And love has come, at last I know
    Your eyes have told me so

    Swingin' On A Rainbow
    Composer(s): Peter DeAngelis - Robert Marcucci
    Performer(s): Frankie Avalon



    You've got me swingin' on a rainbow
    Walkin' around in the rain
    Playin' with the raindrops
    I'm doin' flip flops
    Look what one kiss can do

    You've got me warm in the winter
    Cold on a summery day
    Never know the reason
    Heart's out of season
    Look at what one kiss dan do

    Never thought that I would fall
    Love was not for me
    I wanted to be just a roamin' lover
    Happy and careless, always to be free

    You've got me, hook, line and sinker
    Just like a fish on a hook
    You better pull the line in
    Baby, I can't win
    Look what one kiss can do

    I only want to just be careless and free
    And I never thought that
    You would fall in love with me

    You've got me, hook, line, and sinker
    Just like a fish on a hook
    You better pull the line in
    Baby, I can't win

    I've got it bad
    And I feel so glad
    Just look what one...
    Just look what one...
    Just look what one kiss can do

    Your cheating heart will make you weep
    You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
    But sleep won't come the whole night through
    Your cheating heart will tell on you

    When tears come down like falling rain
    You'll toss around and call my name
    You'll walk the floor the way i do
    Your cheating heart will tell on you

    (break)

    Your cheating heart will pine some day
    And crave the love you threw away
    The time will come when you'll be blue
    Your cheating heart will tell on you

    When tears come down like falling rain
    You'll toss around and call my name
    You'll walk the floor the way I do
    Your cheating heart will tell on you

    Your cheating heart is gonna tell on you

    Nights like this
    When I'm all alone

    When the moon is on the rise
    Baby I'm so blue
    Watchin' lovers makin' eyes
    Like we used to do

    When the moon is on the way
    Still I'm waitin' all in vain
    Should be swingin' down the lane
    With you

    Your Bulldog Drinks Champagne
    Composer(s): David Bellamy; Jim Stafford
    Performer(s): Jim Stafford



    There was a lady in a window
    In the room across the way
    From the hotel I was staying in
    While on my holiday
    I couldn't help but see everything
    'Cause I was peeping I confess
    Still after dinner every night
    She had the strangest guest

    She'd retire to her favorite chair
    And sit there with a dog
    Fill the crystal glasses
    While the fire danced on the log
    I watched them drink their bubbly brew
    Until the fire grew dim
    Then I stuck my head out the window
    And said why not me instead of him

    Oh your bulldog drinks champagne
    And I ain't one to complain
    What a perfect waste of wine it seems to be
    So honey, tell ol' rover that the big dog's coming over
    'Cause any woman that would get a bulldog drunk
    Would have to be good to me

    Fourteen days and fourteen nights
    Not one word did I hear
    Her with her silk and champagne
    Over to me in my shorts with a beer
    She just left the curtains wide
    And I knew she knew I could see
    Her and the pug-nosed mutt
    Guzzling wine and teasing me

    Oh your bulldog drinks champagne
    And I ain't one to complain
    What a perfect waste of wine it seems to be
    So honey, tell ol' rover that the big dog's coming over
    'Cause any woman that would get a bulldog drunk
    Would have to be good to me

    So I made a bolder move
    I went over and rang her bell
    I heard growling from inside
    And I got scared as hell
    Then the bulldog staggered out the door
    And he said, how do yo do
    But the lady bit me on the leg
    And I said r-rouf, I love you too

    Oh your bulldog drinks champagne
    And I ain't one to complain
    What a perfect waste of wine it seems to be
    So honey, tell ol' rover that the big dog's coming over
    'Cause any woman that would get a bulldog drunk
    Would have to be good to me

    Swingin'
    Composer(s): Lionel Delmore - John Anderson
    First release by: John Anderson



    There's a little girl in our neighbourhood
    Her name is Charlotte Johnson and she's really looking good
    I had to go and see her so I called her on the phone
    I walked over to her house, and this was going on:
    Her brother was on the sofa eating chocolate pie
    Her mama was in the kitchen cutting chicken up to fry
    Her daddy was in the backyard rolling up a garden hose
    I was on the porch with Charlotte feeling love down to my toes

    And we were swingin'
    Yeah we were swingin'
    Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
    I can't beleive it started on her front porch in the swing
    Just a swingin'

    Now Charlotte is a darling she's the apple of my eye
    When I'm on the swing with her it makes me almost high
    Now Charlotte is my lover and she has been since the spring
    I just can't believe it started on her front porch in the swing
    Just a swingin'

    A mother was bathin' her baby one night
    The youngest of ten, a poor little mite
    The mother was fat and the baby was fin
    T'was nawt but a skellington wrapped up in skin

    The mother turned round for the soap from the rack
    She weren't gone a minute, but when she got back
    Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried
    "Oh, where is my baby?", and the angels replied

    Your baby has gorn dahn the plug'ole
    Your baby has gorn dahn the plug
    The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
    He shoulda been bathed in a jug

    Your baby is perfik'ly happy
    He won't need no bathin' no more
    He's workin' his way through the sewers
    Not lost, just gone on before

    Your baby has gorn dahn the drainpipe
    And the chlorine is bad for his eyes
    He's havin' a swim, and it's healthy for him
    He needed the exercise

    Don't worry 'baht 'im, just be 'appy
    For I know he is suff'rin' no pain
    Your baby has gorn dahn the plug'ole
    Let's hope he don't stop up the drain

    ----------


    Alternate Verse:


    Your baby is perfik'ly 'appy
    He won't need a bath any more
    He's muckin' abaht with the angels above
    Not lost but gone before

    ----------

    Swing Medley
    Performer(s): The Star Sisters



    He was a famous trumpet man from old Chicago way
    He had a boogie style that no one else could play
    He was the top man at his craft
    But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
    He's in the army now, a-blowin' Reveille
    He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
    A-toot, a-toot, a-toot-diddelyada

    (And now three lovely ladies that are
    sending GI's hearts all over the World)

    Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai
    Have you ever danced in the tropics?
    Well that girl's a fool
    With the Gaucho ?????
    Of the South American way, hey!

    Ai, ai, ai, ai. ai
    Could you have ever kissed in the moon light
    If you never kissed
    Who knows what you've missed
    In the South American Way

    Bei mir bist du schoen
    Please let me explain
    Bie mir bist du schoen means you're grand

    Bei mir bist du schoen
    Again I'll explain
    It means you're the fairest in the land

    I could say "bella, bella"
    Even say "wunderbar"
    Each language only helps me tell you
    How grand you are

    I'll try to explain
    Bei mir bist du schoen
    So kiss me and say you'll understand

    (Okay guys, grab your gal and hit the floor
    'Cos here's that beat you've been waiting to swing to)

    Who's the lovin' daddy with the beautiful eyes
    What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size
    I'll just tell him, "Baby, won't you swing it with me"
    Hope he tells me, "Baby, what a wing it will be"
    So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
    He said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"

    In the mood
    In the mood
    In the mood
    It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"

    If you ever go down Trinidad
    They make you feel so very glad
    Calypso sing and make up rhyme
    Guarantee you one real good fine time

    Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
    Go down Point Koomahnah
    Both mother and daughter
    Workin' for the Yankee dollar

    Oh, Tico Tico, tick
    Oh, Tico Tico, tock
    This Tico Tico, he's the cuckoo in my clock
    And when he says "Cuckoo"
    He means it's time to woo
    It's Tico time for all the lovers in the block

    I've got a heavy date
    A tete-a-tete at eight
    So speak, oh Tico, tell me is it getting late?
    If I'm on time, cuckoo
    But, if I'm late, woo woo
    The one my heart is gone to may not want to wait

    In Spain they say "Si, si"
    In France you hear "Oui, oui"
    Ev'ry little Dutch girl says "Ya, ya"
    Ev'ry little Russian says "Da, da"

    La-la-la-la-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-de-de-da-da
    De-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

    Younger Than Springtime Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers First performance by: William Tabbert - 1949 Covered by multiple other artists



    Younger than springtime are you
    Softer than starlight are you
    Warmer than winds of June are the gentle lips you gave me
    Gayer than laughter are you
    Sweeter than music are you
    Angel and lover, heaven and earth
    Are you to me

    And when your youth and joy invade my arms
    And fill my heart, as now they do
    Younger than springtime am I
    Gayer than laughter am I
    Angel and lover, heaven and earth
    Am I with you

    Swing Me An Old-Fashioned Song
    Composer(s): Walter Bullock - Harold Spina
    Performer(s): Shirley Temple



    First of all you start this way
    Back and forth that's the way
    And now that you've got yourself swinging
    Do the same thing with your singing

    Swing me an old-fashioned song
    Down by the old mail stream
    Da da de da da
    Swing me an old-fashioned song
    old-fashioned song

    Croon me an old-fashioned tune
    Da de da de da
    In the evening by the moonlight
    You can hear those darkies singing
    Oh Oh, croon me an old-fashioned tune

    Just keep it soft and sweet
    With rhythm from the start
    But keep that old time beat
    The beat that's, straight from the heart

    Swing me an old-fashioned song²
    I wanted to say to the fields Maggie
    That's it, Its just an old-fashioned song

    Dear old girls around us sing about you
    Roll be like a roll around
    Won't you try it
    Oh my darling
    Oh my darling, darling
    Croon me an old-fashioned tune

    Won't you swing just an old-fashioned song
    Ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road
    And I'll be in Scotland a'fore Ye
    That how to swing, an old-fashioned song
    Now sing and you'll be happy all day long
    Sing an old-fashioned song

    She's one of those girls who seems to come in the Spring
    One look in her eyes and you forget everything
    That you had ready to say
    And I saw her today, yeah...
    A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
    No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind
    Oh, I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
    Said she'd never been in trouble, even in town
    A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
    No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind
    And should I hang around, acting like her brother
    In a few more years, they'd call us right for each other
    And why
    If I wait I'll just die, yeah...
    A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
    No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind
    Oh, I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
    Said she'd never been in trouble, even in town
    A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
    She's one of those girls who seems to come in the Spring
    One look in her eyes and you forget everything
    That you had ready to say

    Swing Low, Sweet Cheerio
    Composer(s): Michael Bruce - Glen Buxton - Alice Cooper - Dennis Dunaway - Neal Smith
    Performer(s): Alice Cooper



    Forget, remember nothing
    The force came from the flame
    I pass along the path inside
    My light shinning always
    We'll get there first a name cried out
    And looked back all the way
    Recall falling down a lot of time was spent that way
    But this story staring me has already begun
    'Cuz I had some vision in my sight
    On the journey to be one
    Help me, help please, help me please
    The screaming starts again
    But the trick I find something hid
    You look, you find, I win
    While working while the play was on
    The play was alright then
    Think thought, big thoughts
    Take off and go back again next week
    Right then my story ended
    And a new one had begun
    'Cuz I had some vision in my sight
    On the journey to be one

    Younger Generation
    Composer(s): John Sebastian
    Performer(s): The Lovin' Spoonful;
    The Critters; Bobby Vee; John Sebastian;
    José Feliciano; Chuck Perrin



    Why must every generation think their folks are square
    And no matter where their heads are, they know Mom´s ain´t there
    'Cause I swore when I was small that I´d remember when
    I knew what´s wrong with them, that I was smaller then

    Determined to remember all the card'nal rules
    Like sun showers are legal grounds for cuttin' school
    I know I have forgotten maybe one or two
    And I hope that I recall them all before the baby´s due
    And I know he´ll have a question or two

    Like "Hey, Pop, can I go ride my zoom
    It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons
    And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue
    And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs"
    And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation

    Then I´ll know that all I´ve learned my kid assumes
    And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons
    And still I´ll try to them him all the things I´ve done
    Relating to what he can do when he becomes a man
    And still he´ll stick his fingers in the fan

    And "Hey, Pop, my girlfriend´s only three
    She´s got her own videophone and she´s taking L.S.D.
    And now that we´re best friends, she wants to give a bit to me
    But what´s the matter Daddy, how come you´re turning green?
    Can it be that you can´t live up to your dreams?"
